LTPS, AMOLED Displays to Dominate Smartphone Panel Shipments in 2016
January 6, 2016 | TrendForceEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The latest research from WitsView, a division of TrendForce, reveals that shipments of panels for smartphone displays for 2015 are expected to reach 1.82 billion units, and the total shipments for 2016 are forecast to grow 7% year on year to 1.95 billion units. Thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD smartphone panels manufactured with low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) and oxide TFT technologies are projected to account for 29.8% of the 2015 global smartphone panel shipments. Their share is forecast to expand further to 34.6% in 2016. Samsung Display Corp. (SDC) has been busily promoting the active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) technology, which is estimated to represent 12.1% of smartphone panels shipped worldwide in 2015. For 2016, the share of AMOLED products in smartphone panel shipments will have a chance to grow to 14%.
“More smartphones in the mid-range market are adopting Full HD (FHD) display, and panel makers continue to lower their prices for LTPS products while expanding their LTPS capacities,” said Boyce Fan, WitsView senior research manager. “Under the current circumstances, shipments of LTPS smartphone panels are expected to keep growing in 2016. At the same time, AMOLED panels will gain more grounds in the high-end smartphone market as well. Panels manufactured with the traditional amorphous silicon (a-Si) technology, by contrast, will continue to see their share in smartphone panel shipments get squeezed in the competition.”
